Why Do I Need to Pump My Grease Trap?

Have you ever tried to clean a pan after making burgers? It's pretty gross right? Especially if you don't get it cleaned up until AFTER it cools down. And what if the food is burned?

If you have ever seen a breakfast cook in action at a grill, you can visualize the stuff they scrape off the grill after each order. 

All this debris has to go somewhere. This is where your Grease Trap comes in. All the grease is meant to flow to the trap so that it doesn't end up in your pipes.

Grease Traps that are not pumped can cause slow running drains, backups, gurgling in your pipes and very bad odors. 

When grease and debris are left to sit and are not pumped out, grease and rancid oils emulsify and begin to create blockages - similar to cholesterol in your arteries.

The last thing you want is to have a back up or poor odor that creates a negative experience for your customers. 

Many business owners feel they can handle the pumping themselves by having someone in the kitchen take care of it. Read up on the DIY for grease trap pumping or better yet, call Herring. We will educate you on the frequency of pumping required for your tank size and customer flow.
